“This was a really great tool for learning to solder, and something I can crack out again next year. The port at the bottom is a little tedious, but practice makes perfect!”
“Fun kit, but mysteriously had a bunch of extra LEDs which caused a little confusion especially since there are no instructions. But extra is better than missing, so no problem.”
“Marvelous kit for learning how to solder. This was the first kit I bought (second one was the PumpkinPi) and it uses the same components. You are given a few different things to learn how to solder - standalone (LEDs, resistors, capacitors), small clump of pins (the 555 timer), large clump of pins (40 GPIO pins). I somehow soldered all the green LEDs the wrong way - either the straight side of the LED hat didn't match the polarity of the legs or the board's outline shouldn't be the same for all LEDs. Regardless, I would still recommend this kit for people learning how to solder.”
“excellent product, arrived very fast, the library works well and with git you download in a few seconds ....
for those interested I created some sample files here:
